MASTER ALPHA — Cargo · IMO 8657574

MASTER ALPHA has not broadcast an AIS position for 30 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the Mediterranean Sea, on 7 Oct 2026, 19:42 UTC. It was sailing from ISKENDERUN to GALATI. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

MASTER ALPHA broadcasts MMSI 341109002 and is registered as IMO 8657574, with call sign V4RW6. The MMSI is the radio identifier used by AIS; the IMO number stays with the ship for life and does not change with re-flagging or sale.

MASTER ALPHA is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the KN flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full cargo fleet at /vessel-type/cargo and full KN flag list at /flag/kn.

MarineRadar shows the latest AIS broadcast from MASTER ALPHA above, with current position, course, speed, and navigation status.

AIS transponders broadcast position every 2 seconds when underway at high speed and up to every 3 minutes at anchor. The position you see refreshes whenever the ship is in range of a coastal AIS receiver or a satellite pass — typically seconds in coastal waters and minutes offshore.

As a cargo, MASTER ALPHA sits in the same design class as the other cargos listed in the Similar Vessels section of the vessel page, or in the full cargo directory at /vessel-type/cargo.
